About the Hotel
Prestonfield House - A 17th-century mansion with fine dining, 20-acre gardens, and private event spaces near Arthur's Seat
Located in Edinburgh's Newington district, this opulent EDI hotel occupies a restored 17th-century estate spanning 20 acres of gardens and parkland. The 23 individually decorated rooms at Prestonfield House feature antique furnishings, mosaic-lined bathrooms, adjustable lighting, and views of Arthur's Seat or the adjacent golf course. The property's signature restaurant Rhubarb serves locally-sourced Scottish cuisine, while the 500-seat circular Georgian stables hosts large events and ceremonies. A 24-hour concierge desk and room service cater to guest needs. The grounds include a Gothic tea house, multiple terraces, and gardens where Highland cattle and peacocks roam freely. Just five minutes from Edinburgh's Old Town, the estate provides quick access to Royal Holyrood Park and an 18-hole James Braid-designed golf course.
